The following equations illustrate these reactions for the commonly used metals lithium and magnesium R may be hydrogen or alkyl groups in any combination. The alkyl magnesium halides described in the second reaction are called Grignard Reagents after the French chemist, Victor Grignard, who discovered them and received the Nobel prize in for this work. The other metals mentioned above react in a similar manner, but Grignard and Alky Lithium Reagents most widely used.
Although the formulas drawn here for the alkyl lithium and Grignard reagents reflect the stoichiometry of the reactions and are widely used in the chemical literature, they do not accurately depict the structural nature of these remarkable substances. Mixtures of polymeric and other associated and complexed species are in equilibrium under the conditions normally used for their preparation.
A suitable solvent must be used. For alkyl lithium formation pentane or hexane are usually used. Diethyl ether can also be used but the subsequent alkyl lithium reagent must be used immediately after preparation due to an interaction with the solvent.
Ethyl ether or THF are essential for Grignard reagent formation. Lone pair electrons from two ether molecules form a complex with the magnesium in the Grignard reagent As pictured below. This is an equilibrium process, whose equilibrium constant is defined by the reduction potential of both metals.
In general the reaction will proceed so that the more electropositive metal will form the more ionic salt usually chloride. Grignard reagents are particularly useful in this regard, and may be used to prepare a wide range of organometallic compounds.
For example:. The reaction with a Grignard is milder than the analogous reaction with lithium reagents, and leads to a lower incident of side-products. Structure The solid state structure of Grignard reagents is controlled by the presence and identity of the solvent used in the synthesis. Dialkyl magnesium R 2 Mg Dialkyl magnesium compounds are involatile white solids. This method is useful for the synthesis of cyclic compounds, 4. Structure In the vapor phase dialkyl magnesium compounds are generally monomeric linear compounds.
The use of organomagnesium compounds in organic synthesis Hydrolysis and related reactions Grignard compounds react with water to give the hydrocarbon, 4. Reaction with CO 2 Grignards react readily with carbon dioxide to form the carboxylate, which yields the associated carboxylic acid upon hydrolysis, 4. Reaction with carbonyls Organomagnesium compounds react with organic carbonyls aldehydes, ketones, and esters to yield the alcohol on hydrolysis, 4.
Reaction with epoxides Oxirane epoxide rings are opened by Grignards in a useful reaction that extends the carbon chain of the Grignard by two carbon atoms. Reaction with salts One of the most useful methods of preparing organometallic compounds is the exchange reaction of one organometallic compound with a salt of a different metal, Equation.

Metadynamics is a powerful algorithm that can be used both for reconstructing the free energy and for accelerating rare events in systems described by complex Hamiltonians, at the classical or at the quantum level. In the algorithm the normal evolution of the system is biased by a history-dependent potential constructed as a sum of Gaussians centered along the trajectory followed by a suitably chosen set of collective variables.
The sum of Gaussians is exploited for reconstructing iteratively an estimator of the free energy and forcing the system to escape from local min. This review is intended to provide a comprehensive description of the algorithm, with a focus on the practical aspects that need to be addressed when one attempts to apply metadynamics to a new system: i the choice of the appropriate set of collective variables; ii the optimal choice of the metadynamics parameters and iii how to control the error and ensure convergence of the algorithm.
Assessing the Accuracy of Metadynamics J. Metadynamics is a powerful technique that has been successfully exploited to explore the multidimensional free energy surface of complex polyat. We here derive an explicit expression for the accuracy of the methodol. We present the Gaussian and plane waves GPW method and its implementation in which is part of the freely available program package CP2K. The GPW method allows for accurate d. We show how derivs. The computational cost of computing the total energy and the Kohn-Sham matrix is scaling linearly with the system size, even for condensed phase systems of just a few tens of atoms.
The efficiency of the method allows for the use of large Gaussian basis sets for systems up to atoms, and we illustrate the accuracy of the method for various basis sets in gas and condensed phases. Agreement with basis set free calcns. Wave function optimization with the orbital transformation technique leads to good parallel performance, and outperforms traditional diagonalisation methods. Energy conserving Born-Oppenheimer dynamics can be performed, and a highly efficient scheme is obtained using an extrapolation of the d.
We illustrate these findings with calcns. Graphics , 14 , 33 — 38 DOI: VMD is a mol. VMD can simultaneously display any no. The atoms displayed in each representation are chosen using an extensive atom selection syntax, which includes Boolean operators and regular expressions. VMD provides a complete graphical user interface for program control, as well as a text interface using the Tcl embeddable parser to allow for complex scripts with variable substitution, control loops, and function calls.
Full session logging is supported, which produces a VMD command script for later playback. VMD has also been expressly designed with the ability to animate mol. VMD is the visualization component of MDScope, a set of tools for interactive problem solving in structural biol. Self—Consistent Molecular Orbital Methods. Further extensions of Gaussian-type basis sets for use in molecular orbital studies of organic molecules.
Two extended basis sets termed G and G consisting of AO expressed as fixed linear combinations of Gaussian functions are presented for the 1st row atoms C to F.
These basis functions are similar to the G set in that each valence shell is split into inner and outer parts described by 3 and 1 Gaussian function, resp. Inner shells are represented by a single basis function taken as a sum of 5 G or 6 G Guassians. Studies with a no. The diffuse sp orbital exponents are recommended for general use to augment larger basis sets. Self-Consistent Molecular Orbital Methods Supplementary functions for Gaussian basis sets.
Preliminary applications of the modified basis sets to the calcn. We present a new continuum solvation model based on the quantum mech. The model is called SMD, where the "D" stands for "d. SMD is a universal solvation model, where "universal" denotes its applicability to any charged or uncharged solute in any solvent or liq.
The model separates the observable solvation free energy into two main components. The first component is the bulk electrostatic contribution arising from a self-consistent reaction field treatment that involves the soln. The cavities for the bulk electrostatic calcn. The second component is called the cavity-dispersion-solvent-structure term and is the contribution arising from short-range interactions between the solute and solvent mols.
This contribution is a sum of terms that are proportional with geometry-dependent proportionality consts. The SMD model has been parametrized with a training set of solvation data including aq. The SMD model employs a single set of parameters intrinsic at. Coulomb radii and at. Although the SMD model has been parametrized using the IEF-PCM protocol for bulk electrostatics, it may also be employed with other algorithms for solving the nonhomogeneous Poisson equation for continuum solvation calcns.
This includes, for example, the conductor-like screening algorithm. NBO 6. We describe principal features of the newly released version, NBO 6. We sketch the motivation and implementation of program changes and describe newer anal.
Both reagents are cis-octahedral and therefore chiral. They crystallize as conglomerates and racemize rapidly in soln. By using these properties, the abs. Enantiopure 1 and 2 were then reacted with butyraldehyde or benzaldehyde to give the corresponding alc. Chiral cis-Octahedral Grignard reagents J. Three chiral cis-octahedral Grignard reagents were synthesized and structurally characterized by x-ray diffraction methods. Synthesis and structural characterization of trans-[MgBr2 tmeda 2] 4 and cis-[MgBr2 dme 2] 5 indicated that bidentate tertiary amino ligands may be less well suited for the prepn.
Structural Data Chem. Structural Data. This review will focus on structures of organo bi metallic species for which the ligands mainly realize nucleophilic transfers for addn. The mechanism of stereoselective addn. The study of the reaction of methylmagnesium chloride and formaldehyde in di-Me ether revealed a new reaction path involving carbonyl compd.
The structure of the transition state for the addn. The simplified mechanism shown by this model is in accord with the aggregation nature of Grignard reagents and their high reactivities toward carbonyl compds. Concerted and four-centered formation of strong O-Mg and C-C bonds was suggested as a polar mechanism. When the alkyl group is bulky, C-C bond formation is blocked and the Mg-O bond formation takes precedence.
A diradical is formed with the odd spins localized on the alkyl group and carbonyl moiety. Diradical formation and its recombination probably are a single electron transfer SET process.
The criteria for the concerted polar and stepwise SET processes were discussed in terms of precursor geometries and relative energies. The equil. To describe the equil. Since the solvent mols. Probably instead of the traditionally accepted cyclic dimer, the linear form of dimer is as stable as the monomer pair and participates in the equil.
For the reaction with acetone, two important reaction paths i. The barrier height for the monomeric path is much higher than that for the linear dimeric path, indicating that the reaction of the Grignard reagent with acetone proceeds through the linear dimeric reaction path. The change of solvation structure during the reaction is examd.
From the calcd. Palladium- or Nickel-Catalyzed Cross Coupling. A new selective method for carbon-carbon bond formation. The complexity of the transmetalation step in a Pd-catalyzed Negishi reaction has been investigated by combining expt. The results reveal some unexpected and relevant mechanistic aspects not obsd. The operative reaction mechanism is not the same when the reaction is carried out in the presence or in the absence of an excess of phosphine in the medium.
These ionic intermediates had never been obsd. In contrast, the ionic pathways via cationic complexes with one solvent or a weak ligand can be noticeably faster and provide a more rapid reaction than the concerted pathways via neutral intermediates.
